Happy Towel Day!!! Don't forget to carry your towel with you everywhere (yes, everywhere) you go on May 25th. If you have a camera, snap a few photos of you and your towel, then share them with us on the "Towel Day Pictures" board. If you don't have a camera, just borrow one from a strag. After all, the strag will happily lend you, the hitchhiker, a camera or a dozen other items that you might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that anyone who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where his towel is is clearly someone to be reckoned with.Click on the banner for instructions on how to put this banner on your web site or signature.

Topic: 42 Days of Christmas (Read 17843 times)

With "Countdown to Towel Day 2010" being such a popular success, or rather in spite of it being an unpopular failure, I introduce to you "The 42 Days of Christmas!"

Here is how it works, simply add the next line to the song, increasing numerically by one each time, until we reach 42 Days of Christmas. It is not necessary to wait a day in order to add then next entry (else we would be well after Christmas), but it is forbidden for an individual to enter consecutive lines in the song. Each line must contain reference to something related to Douglas Adams, any of his works, or related to this forum or its members.

If possible, paste the previous song up to that point into your message (appropriately modified), just as you would sing when doing the more traditional version of the song.

I'll get things started off...
